Testimonials

“Smith Academy has provided me with a quality education for the four years that I’ve gone here. The small, tight-knit community offers more intimate class sizes without forgoing the social variety of a larger school. ” - Ben Bricker (Grade 12) “Smith Academy is unique in the way it offers the high academic standard of a private school in a small public school setting.   It is certainly worth the drive from Greenfield every day. ” - Sam Boucher (Grade 12) “In addition to the high academic standards, the sports program is fabulous.   It is inclusive to kids who enjoy sports but may not be star athletes.   Because of Smith Academy’s size, the program is able to include those who wish to play, while receiving great support and instruction.   It really is a gem.   In short, Smith Academy is a public school with a private school feel. ” Christine Adams (SA Parent)
